Definitions

  • the invention relates to junction boxes and particularly but not solely to junction boxes for use in motor vehicles.
  • junction boxes which comprise an insulating housing enclosing at least one circuit board providing distribution networks for the electrical supplies to basic automobile appliances (e.g. lights, windscreen wipers) instead of the conventional central wire harnesses which consisted of networks of individual wires.
  • the junction box affords a substantial saving in space when compared with the conventional wire harness and can conveniently be located in the engine compartment instead of behind the instrument panel.
  • the use of diagnostic equipment is also facilitated.
  • junction box assembly which can accommodate distribution networks for both the main appliances (e.g. lights, windscreen wipers, etc.) and auxiliary appliances (e.g. air conditioner, headlight wipers) for some vehicles such as export or luxury models without incurring the expense of making such provision where not required.
  • main appliances e.g. lights, windscreen wipers, etc.
  • auxiliary appliances e.g. air conditioner, headlight wipers
  • a main junction box comprises an insulating housing enclosing at least one circuit board providing distribution networks for electrical supplies to main appliances and having plugs or sockets for connection to sockets or plugs terminating main appliance leads, the main junction box having means releasably to couple the main junction box mechanically and electrically to one or more auxiliary junction boxes of similar construction which provide distribution networks for electrical supplies to auxiliary appliances.
  • the circuit boards may be printed circuit boards or comprise metal strips mounted on an insulating carrier.
  • the housing has means projecting from a rear face to attach the main junction box to the bulkhead of an automobile engine compartment and the coupling means are adapted to operate to permit coupling and uncoupling of the or each auxiliary box with the main box attached to the bulkhead and the circuit board(s) of the or each auxiliary junction box and the circuit board of the main junction box in parallel planes and in coplanar relation, respectively.
  • Coupling may be achieved by movement of the or each auxiliary junction box in directions perpendicular to or parallel with the plane of the circuit board of the main junction box.
  • the housings of the respective coupling junction boxes may be adapted to dovetail together.
  • a junction box assembly for an automobile comprises a main junction box releasably coupled mechanically and electrically to an auxiliary junction box, the main junction box comprising an insulating housing enclosing at least one circuit board providing distribution networks for electrical supplies to main appliances and having plugs or sockets for connection to sockets or plugs terminating main appliance leads, and the auxiliary junction box comprising an insulating housing enclosing at least one circuit board providing distribution networks for electrical supplies to auxiliary appliances, the housing of the main junction box having means projecting from a rear face to attach the main junction box to the bulkhead of an automobile engine compartment.
  • a fuse holder adapted to receive either a p.c.b. or cartridge type fuse may be provided in strip form enabling an appropriate number of fuse holders to be severed from the strip and applied as a group to the junction box assembly.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of the main junction box with auxiliary junction boxes aligned for coupling therewith;
  • FIG. 2 is an underplan view
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation partly in cross-section
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the main junction box taken along line A--A of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the junction box assembly also showing the location of external connectors.
  • FIG. 6 shows various views of a fuse holder in strip and loose-piece form adapted to receive either a printed circuit board fuse or a cartridge fuse.
  • the junction box assembly comprises a main box 11 and auxiliary boxes 12 and 13 releasably coupled mechanically and electrically to the main box.
  • the main box 11 has main panel members 2, 3 which are oppositely directed as shown in FIGS. 1-3.
  • Sidewalls 4, 5 and endwalls 6, 7 extend between the main panel members.
  • the sidewalls and endwalls are comprised of wall portions of housing sections 14, 15 described below.
  • the main box 11 includes upper and lower housings 14,15 respectively, each molded in one piece from suitable plastics material and fixed together by an ultrasonic welding technique for which plastics studs 16 are provided on the upper housing.
  • a bolt-receiving mounting flange 17 extends from one side of the lower housing and cylindrical feet 18 from each end of the other side, the feet being for receipt in mounting channels defined on the engine compartment bulkhead.
  • Connector mounting hooks 19 extend at intervals from opposite sides of the lower housing at each end of sockets 25 for external connector 26.
  • the upper housing 14 is molded with a series of terminal receiving cavities 20,21,22 open to the top and at opposite sides of each end with coupling sockets 24 open to the respective ends.
  • a printed circuit board 27 is sandwiched between upper and lower housings and groups of tab receptacles 28,29,30 are soldered to the p.c.b. and located in the cavities 20,21,22 respectively.
  • Other terminals such as a fork receptacle 31 for a p.c.b. may be soldered to the p.c.b. 27.
  • a stamped and formed metal bus 36 extends along the housing and is formed at opposite ends into fork contacts 37 which are located in shrouds 41 and protrude from opposite ends of the main box.
  • a U-shaped spring (not shown) may extend through slots 42 for connection to the bus to provide a high current tap to an external heavy current carrier.
  • commoning tabs 39 extend through apertures in the lower housing.
  • the auxiliary boxes 12,13 are of similar, though not identical, construction each having upper and lower housings 50,51 molded in one piece from plastics material and fixed together by an ultrasonic welding technique.
  • Latch arms 52 are integrally molded with the upper housings 50 and extend from opposite sides of ends to be coupled with the main box.
  • the latch arms are integrally formed with detents 53.
  • a printed circuit board 58 (hereinafter referred to as a p.c.b.) is sandwiched between the upper and lower housings and carries various terminals (not shown).
  • a coupling end of each housing has a protruding shroud 54 for a stamped and formed coupling terminal 55 which comprises two forks 56,57 opening to opposite directions, one fork 56 connecting to the auxiliary p.c.b. 58 and the other 57 connecting to the p.c.b. 27.
  • the boxes are aligned end to end as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and pushed together causing the detents on the latch arms to snap into locking apertures 23 in the walls of sockets 24.
  • the forks 57 of the auxiliary box connect to the p.c.b. 27 of the main box and the forks 37 of the bus strip of the main box connect to the p.c.b. 27.
  • shrouds 54 of each auxiliary box and complementary apertures 59 of the main box are of different sizes to prevent mismatching of the auxiliary boxes with the main box.
  • the groups of terminals may be associated with the functions indicated in the drawing and a particular fuse holder adapted for use with the junction box is shown in FIG. 6.
  • the fuse holder is molded in one piece from plastics material with a fuse receiving through cavity 60 of reduced width at each end 63.
  • Detents 64 protrude into each end of the cavity remote from a top and detent shoulders 66, protrude into the cavity intermediate the ends opposite a shoulder 67.
  • the detents 64 and 66 have cam surfaces facing the bottom and top of the cavity, respectively, so that a p.c.b. fuse 62 can be pushed into the cavity from below with the detents snapping into the slots 65 on the p.c.b. and a small cartridge fuse 63 can be pushed into the cavity from above with the detent shoulder 66 snapping over the fuse 63 to lock it against shoulder 67.
  • the fuse holder can conveniently be manufactured in strip form, the housings being connected by web 68, which may readily be severed to permit a group of fuse holders with their fuses to be connected to the boxes.
  • p.c.b. fuses may be double ended, rotation of the p.c.b. fuse being necessary to provide another live fuse after one has blown.
  • the junction box is particularly suitable for use with external connectors described in our U.S. Pat. No. 4,053,197.
